Announcement Hello Everyone! It's official, I have retired from the sewing biz. After 14 years, I'm ready for new challenges. But! I am still patterning!
If you would like to purchase a copy of one of my patterns, please contact me! Patterns are $15-$25 including shipping, come with full instructions, and usually have more than one piece associated with them. I'm an utter troglodyte and hand draft my patterns; maybe one day I'll digitize!

And of course as always, I'm happy to help you out with any questions you may have about the patterns, fabrics, sewing techniques, etc.

Email: hystericaldesigns [!at] gmail.com

Also! I have a NEW WEBSITE ADDRESS!

These stays are absolutely stunning. So pretty, so well-made. I wore mine for a ball, and I was comfortable all night. What a great item, at a great value. Even better than expected. Highly recommend.

This set of stays is beautifully made, and I have confidence that because of the great construction it will be durable. It's also really very comfortable! I would definitely support this artisan again.

On Etsy since 2009

"Call it fate, call it luck, call it karma. I believe everything happens for a reason. I believe the we were destined to get thrown outta this dump"

I opened Historical Designs on Etsy less than 2 years after graduating from college with undergrad degrees in English and Theatre Arts. Much to my surprise, I found that I truly loved historical plays and wanted to do more than just build costumes for stage. I wanted to know exactly how clothes used to be built and exactly what was going on under the layers. The more I learned, the more vividly I saw book characters and authors in my mind. Queen Elizabeth I’s speech at Tilbury resonated in my mind and I could see the woman, the person, speaking to her militia, inspiring them with her brave words. Not only did Jane Austen have a face and silhouette in my mind’s eye, but so did the Bennet sisters, Emma, and the Dashwoods. And poor Heathcliff; I saw the ragged Gypsy boy, compelled by his love for Catherine, savagely fight his way up the social ladder only to implode under the weight of his own hatred and loss. Suddenly everything clicked into place: I knew I wanted to build historical clothing and I wanted to go into business for myself!
